🦴 NEW CLASS COMING TO THE PILATES ROOM

Introducing Balance & Bones — our new 50-minute mixed equipment class, starting Wednesdays at 12.30pm.

As we age, bone density naturally decreases, making it increasingly important to give our bones the right stimulus to stay strong.

At the same time, our balance, strength and stability can decline too — so these are two areas we really want to keep working on as we get older.

Using a combination of Reformer, Towers and other Pilates equipment, Balance & Bones is designed to:

✨ Help maintain and improve bone density through appropriate resistance and weight-bearing exercise

✨ Improve balance, stability and coordination

✨ Build strength and body awareness

✨ Support confidence in movement

✨ Help you stay strong and capable for everyday life

Because getting older doesn’t mean we have to simply accept losing strength, balance or bone density. We can keep working on all three.

And a little behind-the-scenes honesty… 😂

Don’t be fooled by how effortless this looks!

This took several takes to film. Pretty much every muscle in my body was working to control the movement.

Sometimes Pilates looks graceful…

…Sometimes you just keep filming until you get the shot!

Pilates myths, busted. ✨

You don’t need to be flexible, super-fit or experienced to start Pilates.

And you certainly don’t need to be able to perform advanced exercises to benefit from the method.

Pilates is about building strength, mobility, flexibility, control and body awareness — progressively, from wherever you are right now.

It’s about learning to move with intention, developing your mind-body connection and understanding how your body works.

And this is where the instructor matters. A knowledgeable, properly trained instructor will observe, guide, correct and adapt the work to help you get the most from each exercise.

At The Pilates Room, we believe in teaching the Pilates Method, not simply a collection of exercises. From the Mat to the full range of apparatus, each element has a purpose and a place in your practice.

Because Pilates is not about how much you can do. It’s about how you do it, what you learn and how you progress.

That’s the magic of the method. ✨

THE PELVIC CURL: SIMPLE ≠ EASY

It might be one of the first exercises you learn in Pilates.

But that doesn’t mean it should ever become an exercise you simply “get through”.

The pelvic curl — or bottom lift — is a fundamental movement pattern that should challenge you every time you practise it.

Why?

Because there is so much happening in a seemingly simple movement.

It works the glutes, hamstrings, deep abdominal muscles and muscles supporting the spine, while asking you to coordinate them together rather than simply lifting your pelvis from the floor.

It asks you to:

• articulate through the spine, rather than simply lifting the pelvis
• recruit the glutes and hamstrings without gripping or overusing them
• find support through the deep abdominal muscles
• maintain alignment and stability
• coordinate the breath with the movement
• move one part of the spine at a time
• and develop awareness of where your body is in space

And this is where the fundamental becomes so important.

The ability to articulate the spine with control isn’t just about performing a good pelvic curl.

It is a movement skill that provides a foundation for so many exercises throughout the Pilates repertoire — on the mat and across the apparatus.

Reformer. Cadillac. Tower. Chair. Barrels.

The equipment may change.
The exercise may become more complex.

But the principles remain.

And being able to move the spine through its available range with awareness and control is an important part of maintaining healthy, adaptable movement.

So if your instructor brings you back to the pelvic curl…

Don’t think, “I’ve done this a hundred times.”

Think:

Can I do it better this time?

Can I find more articulation?
More control?
More connection?
More precision?

Because the fundamentals aren’t something you move past.

They’re what everything else is built on.

The Pilates industry is booming. But do you know what you’re actually being taught?

With so many different classes now using the name Pilates, we think it’s worth understanding what sits behind the word.

In March 2026, the Pilates Teacher Association published a statement highlighting the importance of greater clarity between Comprehensive Pilates and Reformer Fitness.

For us, one of the most important points is the role of the instructor.

A comprehensively trained Pilates teacher doesn’t just know a repertoire of exercises. They understand the full Pilates method, how the different pieces of apparatus complement each other, and how to adapt and progress the work for the individual in front of them.

Because sometimes the Reformer isn’t the answer.

Sometimes it’s the Chair.
Sometimes it’s the Cadillac.
Sometimes it’s the Barrel.
Sometimes it’s the Mat.
Sometimes it’s simply a different exercise, cue or approach.

That’s the magic of the method — your instructor having the knowledge and tools to adapt the work to your body, your needs and your goals.

And this is something you can experience for yourself.

✨ The Magic of the Method: Beyond the Reformer
📅 31 October

Join us for a workshop exploring how the full range of Pilates apparatus and matwork complement one another to create a complete method — rather than viewing each piece of equipment in isolation.

If you’ve only experienced Reformer Pilates, this is an opportunity to discover what else the method has to offer.

Pilates is more than the Reformer. 🤍

The Reformer is a fantastic tool, but it’s just one part of the Pilates method.

A comprehensive Pilates practice brings together Matwork, Reformer, Tower, Chair, Barrels and small equipment, giving you different ways to develop strength, mobility, stability, balance and control.

But the equipment is only part of the picture.

Who teaches you matters too.

Pilates is an unregulated industry, so instructor training can vary considerably. A comprehensively trained instructor has a much broader understanding of the method and more tools to adapt, modify and progress exercises for the individual.

At The Pilates Room, we believe in teaching Pilates as a complete method — not simply delivering a Reformer workout.

Because the aim isn’t just to get through the exercises.

It’s to understand your movement, build strength and continue to progress.

Learn Pilates. Move better. Keep progressing.

🌿 NEW REFORMER BEGINNERS COURSE 🌿
Starts Tuesday 29th September | 7:10pm

If you’re new to Reformer Pilates, you might be wondering: do I really need a beginners course?

At The Pilates Room, we believe the answer is yes.

Pilates is about much more than simply getting on a Reformer and following the exercises. Learning the fundamentals first gives you the foundations to move safely, understand your body and get more from every exercise as you progress.

Our 4-week Beginners Course with Sharon will introduce you to:

✨ How to use the Reformer safely and confidently
✨ The Pilates principles and fundamental movements
✨ Correct alignment, breathing and control
✨ How to work with resistance and springs
✨ How to recognise and understand your own body’s movement
✨ Progressive exercises that build week by week

With small groups of no more than 6, there’s plenty of opportunity for individual guidance, hands-on correction and questions.

By the end of the course, you’ll have built the knowledge, confidence and movement foundations to progress into our regular Reformer classes.

Whether you’re completely new to Pilates or returning after a break, this is where your Reformer journey begins. 🤍

Experience Pilates Beyond the Reformer...

At The Pilates Room, we believe Pilates is far more than just the Reformer. It is a complete movement system, with each piece of apparatus designed to develop strength, mobility, control and body awareness in different ways.

That's why we're excited to be offering a one-off Tower Pilates Pop-Up Class on Friday 3rd July.

Designed for clients who are already confident on the Reformer, this class is an opportunity to experience another traditional piece of Pilates apparatus and deepen your understanding of the Pilates method.

The Tower uses spring resistance to both support and challenge your movement, helping you to:

✨ Build strength and stability
✨ Improve posture and spinal mobility
✨ Increase flexibility and control
✨ Develop greater precision and body awareness
✨ Experience movement in a completely different way to the Reformer

At The Pilates Room, we're proud to be the only fully comprehensive Pilates method studio within the Preston boundary. Our studio is equipped to teach the Pilates method as a complete system, using a range of traditional apparatus—not just the Reformer. This allows our clients to experience Pilates in the way it was originally designed, with each piece of equipment complementing the others to support lifelong, healthy movement.

If you've been enjoying your Reformer classes and would like to broaden your Pilates practice, this is the perfect opportunity.

📅 Friday 3rd July
🎟️ Limited spaces available – book now via Gymcatch.

Discover Pilates as a method, not just a workout.
